    Can I change the Win XP serial number?

    Hey,

    I just tried to install the Windows XP Service Pack 2 upgrade on my computer, but the installation stops because the Win XP serial number is not valid.

    I do own a legitimate copy of Win XP (with SP2 included) and I guess I could just format the computer and reinstall. That would take a lot of time however, so I wondered if there is a quicker way of getting SP2 installed. Can I somehow change the serial number to that of my legitimate copy?

    Thanks.
